Dance & Jump!

Liam has really started to break into a little boogie whenever he hears his music now & I think it's because he really enjoys the music from the Charlie Brown movies! He's trying to snap his fingers but while attempting that he clicks his tongue to simulate the sound. He dances to Ring Around the Rosies also and sometimes likes me to sing for him & sometimes he just spins and drops all on his own accord! He finds it very amusing when Mama dances like the Charlie Brown characters & gets up to do it with me - so very cute, indeed.

I've been trying to teach him how to jump & he's trying very hard to do so but ends up stomping with one foot more than trying to launch himself off the ground :) We practiced our jumping on the little trampoline (with handle bar) at Toddlin' Time today & he had a great time jumping with assistance! He thought it was really funny yesterday when Matias & I were hugging & I told him to jump on the count of 3 - he laughed really hard when he saw us jumping together & asked for us to do it multiple times. He's getting braver jumping with two feet off of things & is taking the opportunity to jump off just about anything; it doesn't matter how high it is or to be honest how low the jump is, he just bends his knees and takes the leap!

We're having a lot of fun here lately; going on a ton of outdoor adventures, learning new things, practicing to perfect other things & just generally enjoying our time together!

I'm in the midst of planning/designing his 2nd Birthday Celebration (!) & I cannot believe where the time has gone...it's so tough to keep up with his present & future without forgetting the wonderful past that we have come from together - now THAT'S something to Dance & Jump about!
